when an epex seal lies on one of those, its gonna ---- up the cairrage one the most. also, the cairrage one will not work with fossil fuels becaus carbon will clog that rea or if a seal vlew it would get ludged and lock the engine, damaging a buncha bullshit.

rotor engines "dont really need any oil" but it gets squirted in by a oil injector, other than that it is pretty much sealed from the rotors

it still needs oil. the only reason why this one doesnt is because its going to mainly use steam as a way of getting power.

Perfectly balanced for minimum vibration and very low oil use makes it pretty innovative
